AOL bashing AIM users.

Ok, I'm pissed today, for several reasons. This is just one that has come up at least
6 f#####g times a day.
All the people who keep ragging on poeple with AOL can go fukc themselves. That goes double for the poeple who say that and then go and use AIM.
I've made it a goal in life to personally ruin the day if anyone who says this to me.
SO
DON'T TEST ME.

I'm not on AOL. And I rarely use AIM. Too many asshats on it. That's the main reason...
Nothing to do witht he quality of it's service. I just don't like all the asshats that IM me. *hugs Trillian* I know, I know, block...

AOL, well, the Dutch version. (Yeah, America Online in Holland, go figure), are known for less then standard service. And since there are quite a number of posts containing examples of low intelligence from AOL users, well.
And Hippo, generalasations don't include everyone.

True, but people forget that... Just like people saying that americans suck just because we go to walmart, and have a sh###y 'president'...

Not touching the political element of that one. Too tempting.
Hippo, I don't *like* AOL and I never have. AIM hasn't earned that distinction yet. The biggest reason I use it is that my friends on campus use it.
Plus, I use Trillian, not AIM. Saves on system resources.

Yeah, but the point is that people ALWAYS generalize aol users as being stupid and computer illiterate. Same thing for why people don't like it. They think they're better then people who use it, simply for the reason that they don't, and often times, those who do have no choice.
But then it comes down who people that say it sucks, just because its simple enough to use that a bowl of pudding can master it, and then proceed to use AIM or any other program that access the AOL network, and continue to say that all users are stupid.

That's because AIM is just the instant messanger with little AOL buggery and/or spyware installed on your computer...
At least, comparatively.

Comparatively, yes... Fundamentially, no...

Err, actually, yes. I could uninstall AIM if I wanted to.
Good luck with AOL.

Well, sortof
Its easy if you delete the registry BEFORE you uninstall it, since it checks the registry when removed for what its supposed to leave behind...
